Dragonfly or Damselfly
The theme this week by me is "Dragonfly or Damselfly". Mac, Kathy, Craver, Lew and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that.
I love to photograph these little creatures in such great colors. I chose as my header a head on view of a brown dragonfly in my Ohio Buckeye Tree. It was very co-operative to allow for a head on view. You can see the eyeball looking at the camera. You can see the buckeyes on the tree behind it.
I was thinking of going with our flag colors of red,
white and
blue until I chose the brown one.
I also had a gold one captured.
These blue damselfly like to come aboard my boat.
This black damselfly was in my backyard.
See what the others have to show on my sidebar.

These are just gorgeous. You do such beautiful work and have a wonderful eye. Thanks for sharing.
Each of these pictures is a winner.I love the header one,so much detail.
Exquisite shots! My favorite is the black and gold lace wing dragonfly. The variety of colors is amazing.
The focal precision and depth of field of your header is incredible!!

I love them...my Daddy Dwight (grandpa) called them witch doctors and loved them to perch on the end of his fishing pole for luck...he taught me to love the Dragon and Damsel...lucky child me...
